• Food inflation hits 0.99% in May, down sharply from 1.78% in April, driven by 13.7% fall in vegetable prices.
• Core inflation remains stable at 4.17, 4.20%, but RBI shifts policy stance to 'neutral' amid inflation control.
• Economists hint at possible 25, bps rate cut if inflation undershoots RBI's 3.7% 2026 forecast by 20 bps.
